Countryside B&B with on-site pig farm and treehouse near Canterbury
Dining
Full English breakfast is served every morning and includes free-range bacon and sausages from the property's own pig farm. Tea and coffee making facilities are provided in all rooms, and an honesty bar offers beers and wines for guest selection. BBQ facilities and a picnic area are available on the grounds for outdoor meals.
Accommodation
The property offers en suite rooms including a treehouse immersed in the Kentish countryside, along with Superior Double, Deluxe Double, and Family Room categories. Each room comes with a comfortable bed, blackout curtains, and en-suite bathroom, while the treehouse features a private timber decking area for relaxation. Soundproofing between rooms is effective, and all accommodations have heating and electric kettles.
Location
Oakside Lodge Guest House is less than 3 miles from the historic centre of Canterbury and a 5-minute drive from Canterbury West Railway Station, with connections to London Central in under an hour. The A2 road is close by but bedrooms are quiet, and off-road parking is available for all guests. Cheyney Field Adventure Park and the historic centre are both within easy reach by car or taxi.
Natural Surroundings
The guest house sits within 5 acres of oak woodlands that stretch into the ancient Blean Forest, a designated area for bird watching where nightingales can be heard. Two friendly pigs named Sausage and Bacon live on the property in a nearby woodland pen and are a popular attraction for guests. Walking trails in the woodlands and countryside are accessible directly from the grounds, and the outdoor terrace offers views of the natural surroundings.
Guest Services
The host provides a warm welcome and runs through all arrangements, including breakfast timing and access to an honesty bar. Daily housekeeping is provided, and a shared lounge/TV area is available for guest use. The property is non-smoking throughout, with designated smoking areas outside, and free Wi-Fi is available across the site.
